How To Make Trolling Motor Faster

If Your Batteries Do Not Provide Enough Power Then Your Boat Cannot Go Faster.

A trolling system includes a shaft, propeller, motor, and a console where you can monitor the battery and adjust the speed of the kayak. Just make sure you bring the charger on over night trips. The downside is that your top rpms go up a ton.

May Need To Try To Figure Out What Rpm The Motor Is Running To Determine If You Need A Higher Pitch Prop.

So you need to get them changed quickly and get new powerful batteries. You simply can’t take a small boat, possibly a canoe, and put a rack of 8. Higher thrust 12v trolling motors are designed for bigger heavier boats with larger payloads.

Stop Your Test When The Battery Reaches 10.5 Volts And Use That Time For 50% Of The Amp Hour Rating On Your Battery.

Put on your voltmeter and switch on your light. If you want to go faster and not change the motor or battery, get rid of anything else in the canoe that has weight, and have yourself go on a diet to remove 50 or 100 lbs, even if you only weigh 50 or 100 lbs. Which prop will make the boat idle slower, for trolling.

A Higher Pitch Will Drain The Battery Faster But Go Faster.

You need eight panels to recharge the entire battery in a day, but that would be impossible to carry along in your boat. The nature of water you are planning to cruise in also significantly impacts how well your trolling motor is going to function. Higher pounds of thrust will not move a boat faster.

Given The Motor Is Running Properly Now And The Idle Rpm Is Where It Should Be Then Reducing Your Pitch, A Lot, Will Indeed Slow The Boat Down Some At Idle Speed.

If your batteries do not provide enough power then your boat cannot go faster. Sometimes the only option to slow. That way, you get a higher speed and you still get home if one goes wrong.
